Reaction Formation Behaving in a manner opposite to way you are feeling You should have heard me tell her off.., I feel bad for yelling at my friend…

I don’t want to go to work today!!! Regression Reverting to immature behavior to express emotions Usually because they feel neglected or want attention I don’t want to go to work today!!!

Identification/Idealization Assuming the qualities of someone you admire – can help to set personal goals Or…allows people to see others as they want them to be, but it keeps them from seeing others as they really are Not seeing others as the really are can lead a person to expect too much from them…and expectations lead to _______________.

It’s no big deal I called in sick…there are plenty of other employees Rationalization Making excused for actions or feelings It is an attempt to preserve self-esteem & avoid feelings of guilt. Assigning a rational explanation to irrational behavior It’s no big deal I called in sick…there are plenty of other employees

I don’t have a problem! Nothing is wrong at all. Denial Refusing to recognize an emotion or problem Protection from facing an unpleasant fact the person cannot yet accept I don’t have a problem! Nothing is wrong at all. Hahahahahaha…

Repression Painful thoughts or feelings are pushed away from conscious thought

Negativism Always seeing the negative side of situations protects a person from potential failure
